Pingtan making a very positive move. Will be reflected in 2017 based on # ships norw fishing. Moe
The news is disappointing but it's been said and it's over. Now full steam ahead in distributing in the U S. That's the big one anyway. All you see on TV is the 2 bathtubs and all the disclaimers. That spent is based on the sales of the 2 companies. Apricus has a major opportunity to consolidate all its efforts on its main product. Moe
Mr. Pascoe, great leadership with an awesome team and strong Board members. Moe
I listened and felt the call was okay. Sales are happening in the European market, perhaps slow but moving into the remaining countries. Also this time Mr. Pascoe made a point of mentioning Mylan and the U S company, with a statement of pursuing them.
Just listened to the CC. This is the 2nd or 3rd time recently that Mr. Pascoe made reference to possibly working with the American company re Vitaros. I've noticed that Mr. Pascoe tends to bring up a subject in advance of it happening. Wouldn't it be wonderful to see something other than the 2 people in the bathtubs at the end of the commercials.
Sarissa Capital has taken a 5.8% interest in Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, AEGR according to Barrons. Good article in the Activist Spotlight. Moe
New Investor is a heavy hitter with incredible connections. All sorts of opportunities open up. Moe
Sandoz would probably not have gone forward with a launch in any country if the results in Germany were poor. Moe
The Radio interview this morning went well. Pascoe is a very good communicator, had to speak a bit fast but due to time he had no choice. The moderator was good but kept screwing up the name of the company, coming out as capricious or something like that.
Pascoe led with his personal background, then Vitaros, nothing new, then Rayva, and lastly Femprox. There was only one break and the commercials were National companies. He stressed towards the end that the company has great plans and will be rolling out to the others geo locations.
MY only problem was it's not archived but hopefully the PR firm has a copy and should definitely take advantage of Pascoe's ability to communicate. Moe
Thats good news re moving on social including twitter. Regarding price, the bio tech and small caps in general are down. Here's an analogy; Apple watch will ultimately be a good product and will move the needle but not now. It's all about the iPhone whether 6 or 6+. The Apple stock will succeed based on a single product.
I believe this is true with Apricus which will succeed or not based on the sales of Vitaros. Based on Pascoe's recent indication of 300,000 I'm betting the next announcement will be significantly higher and will drive the price and eventually move into other geographic locations. Moe
Yes I heard that too. Not sure whether it was a slip re 300,000 units shipped but a great statement. Secondly, Pascoe made it clear that the market is not a subset but the entire market against the two competitors. Good presentation. Moe
Totally agree it's all about Revenues. Up to now the announcement of multiple launches gives a feeling of confidence but it won't be till earliest Nov-Mar to get actual sales numbers and that will drive price. Moe
Finally the stock has stabilized and now the waiting begins. Probably 3-6 months. My bet is good and building results in the 3 countries with more launches. Really hopng that sales spread to the greater population that's currently using the other products. To all thanks for your informing posts and have a great long weekend for those in the good old USA. Moe
What is the size of the market for Vitaros? If it's limited to the subset for those individuals who cannot take the other 2 brands then it's indeed small. But I've always thought that getting into the market was initially a sell to those that can't take the other products but would then be expanded to be on a footing with the other products. If this is true then word of mouth, social media and eventually advertising could make Vitaros a major revenue producer. Moe
It would be wonderful if Apricus could move positively on all cylinders but that's usually not how it works. Two things need to happen; continued launches and revenue. It's amazing what occurs when revenues roll in and beat prior quarters. Relax, I'm not counting Apricus including the mgt. team out. Moe
In Yahoo Finance, TPI has eliminated the Messages, any opinion? Moe
Once Apricus can announce Revenue, it doesn't matter where it comes from. Look at some of the Chinese companies, Baidu. All revenue from China and a few other countries. It's all about sales and Apricus is on track now. Moe
Awesome. Congrats to the Apricus team. Moe
This is great news. There had to be positive news from Sales in the U K for Sandoz to go ahead. I wouldn't be surprised if there is communication amongst all of the companies. The price will eventually catch up with the news over the next few months. Moe
I think all were waiting to see the results in the U K. If they are, hopefully positive, then all other moves can and should occur. We will be very pleased if the launch was successful and it should start to move the price up. Best to all, Moe
Price is a function of Sales. There is no way to determine that mgt isn't doing the job. Zacks is meaningless. We may know something about Sales in the next 3-4 weeks and certainly by end of year. Moving the price down is risk on. It's a pleasure to pick up more shares at this price. Moe
Since the main focus now is status in the U K, I think the company is waiting till the next Conf Call to present on several fronts. This is still a small company and will not address non essential issues although I agree the video is minor. Moe
I consider IHUB and the Apricus posts to be a 10. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of the other popular site, Y___o, Fi____e. The other site attracts a higher audience and in certain stocks has been very acceptable.
Is it possible for the posters here to consider posting on the other site as well and hopefully get it to be a more effective site since the draw is very high. Moe
Presently this is the best example of social media for a statistical analysis, sample size =1. All kidding aside the more we can use other social media outlets without outright selling, we can spread the word to other countries, and in particular the good old USA. Moe
Getting reference to the article in the Social Media would be a great move to be done in the U S. Moe
My opinion, which is worth 2 cents, is, "It's all about Sales". Takeda met it's date so there was no erosion in PPS even though the market was down for most of the day. Look at Alibaba, incredible yearly Sales but qtr sales % was down and news was negative about slight decline.
When the Sales numbers start coming out this week or in the month and follow up sales then PPS will rise. Other factors about the Board or specific members is important but secondary. Moe
True. But the more each of us can spread the word legally then hopefully more people in the United Kingdom will know about the product. Best to all, this is a very exciting day. Moe
You are absolutely on the mark. The first script, followed by word of mouth, then social media takes over and we are in the right direction. Moe
Pascoe and company probably has enough to do with making the launch successful. All of the other activities mentioned by the group on this site are important but need not be discussed with the general public. This is a small company that has waited a long time to be in this position and need to stay focused without dealing with the public on the other activities until after the launch. Best to all, I've learned a lot from many of you. Moe
I like the company's approach. The only thing that counts is the launch. All other moves should be done without broadcasting the moves Moe
All that is important is the results of the launch. We all wish information was announced regarding other significant activities but that's not the way Pascoe and the Board operate. Pascoe has proven in the past year he delivers on his statements.
The situation now is there is a period of time, unknown when the results will be in for the success in the U K. Only then will we see next steps announced. Moe
Visium is an interesting fund to have invested in Apricus.
Visium Asset Management was founded by Jacob Gottlieb in 2005. Though this hedge fund initially specialized in health care stocks, the firm now manages over $3.5 billion in its broader range of holdings. Industrials, utilities, financials, energy, credit, special situations, risk arbitrage, convertible bond arbitrage, and macro and quantitative investments are the key investment interests of Visium Asset Management. Jacob Gottlieb graduated magna cum laude from Brown University before receiving his medical doctorate (MD) degree from New York University Medical School. In 2001, Gottlieb received his CFA charter from AIMR.

Thank you all for providing the information without color over the years. I continued to accumulate, in part based on the information from this board. Hopefully the next phases will go smoothly with minimum bumps. Moe
So far Pascoe has delivered when he said he would. The next step is a launch preferably in this qtr. I believe the move with options was a next step not previously announced but wouldn't be appropriate to have done it after the launch. It's so easy to get freaked out when each day is an eternity and the company may not be able to announce a launch date but instead simply launch. Moe
Hopefully the news right before the conference announces the launch. My bet is Canada.
It's the beginning of January. An update so quickly is premature. Relax and enjoy the game. Moe
Been an interesting year for APRI. Pascoe performed brilliantly. Now hopefully we start the next phase, Production & delivery, and then finally selling the product. The best to all and hopefully it will work out for all. Go APRI.
Best, Moe
Selling the company is an option but can be a poor one for existing outside shareholders. The only ones to benefit is management with future options going forward and the buyer. This has happened to me once and I was a very disappointed shareholder. Moe
As a father of a former West Pointer who graduated shortly after our new CEOs, I can tell you the combination of high academics, athletics for all, leadership programs and a total demand of being at your best for the entire 4 year program is a major benefit for the new CEO.
